Nothing will compair to the 00-92 civic or the 01-94 integras. But you have to look at it from a honda america stand point. How many people that buy a civic are going to "fix it up?" I am sure 90% of the market is younger females. There market in america is young kids starting to drive through college. They have gotten big, the fit has the same wheelbase as the 88-91 hatch, and the fit is a "subcompact" All cars are getting bigger and its unfortunate. Honda is not out of the game, but they are not bringing them to the states. The new 4 door CTR is 2650lbs and is sporting a 220ps k20a (not the american made K20z3). The closest thing to the R we will get will be the $30k mugen edition. To be honest, I will buy an evo or something for that price.
Most people hating on Hondas are in the nissan crowd or are "rwd or nothing" clan. To be honest, I could care less as long as I like it and it handles well.

To finish this off and to answer the question above. Honda has lost its "tuner" aspect b/c new ones are too much money for the crowd that is into it. The Older model cars that we all love are gettig rare. I do not see the value of them going up (on paper) but they will be worth more to the owners. I know if I was to get hit and my car was totaled, my EG is only "worth" $2500-300 AT MOST. Though I might could have sold it for $5k or so. For what it costs to rebuild the title of a civic most people just say forget it. What is gut wrenching, is only 1500 S2kCR's being made. Maybe 1 day I will be able to afford one. It will have 50k miles or more and cost $50k by that time.
